 West Texas A&M will defend their LSC Championship as they look for the program's fifth league crown (2012, 2013, 2023, 2024). The Lady Buffs have featured five individual champions: Brenda Sindet (2012), Emma Love (2014), Nikolina Hrelec (2016), Florance Uwajeneza (2021, 2022), Elenora Curtabbi (2023) and Sarah Koomson (2024).
 
Eleven all-conference runners from the 2024 championship are likely among the women's field. In addition to returning champion Sarah Koomson, last season's LSC Runner of the Year Julie Lafare is among five WT all-conference finishers expected in the starting box.
 
No women's team has posted a perfect 15 points in the conference meet. Angelo State took the 1988 title with 16 points while WT (2024) totaled 17 points a year ago. This is the 41st women's cross country LSC championship with the first trophy awarded in 1984. Current conference members ASU and Midwestern State have each won seven team titles with West Texas A&M (4), DBU (2), Lubbock Christian (1) and Texas A&M-Kingsville (1) on the all-time winner's list. WT and ASU have each had seven athletes take the individual title.
